Four in Hand
The four in hand knot is one of the skinniest tie knots. It's best uses are on skinny ties, when in a more casual setting, or for ties worn with really skinny collars. The one setback is that it's not symmetrical.
Half Windsor
A half windsor is slightly larger than the four in hand and can be done for almost any tie and collar except for the thinnest ties and the widest collars. This is the smallest symmetrical knot.
Full Windsor
A full windsor is a slightly larger version of the half windsor and is a symbol of strength and power. Worn to businesses more often then not. This tie will surely put you ahead of the crowd.
Double Windsor (Balthus)
A double windsor is, that's right, an even bigger windsor knot! The only reasons someone might tie this knot are because their tie is too long or they have a very wide collar.
Novelty Knots
Novelty knots are simply knots which, when tied, show an interesting pattern in the knot rather than a flat knot. These ties are more modern than any others. Here are some popular novelty knots and how to tie them.
Eldredge:
This knot creates a handsome and powerful multi-layered look. A more pristine look, but at the cost of a more difficult tie.
This knot display's three separate parts coming together.
This knot is similar to a four in hand with two loops below it.
Usually worn more with formal and business attire, tie clips can hold the tie in place, and they look great with the correctly colored tie.
